Black Iron Crown

Chapter 411: Unfair rewards for meritorious deeds

Hearing this voice, Rainer hurriedly turned his head to check who was saying this.

Following the reputation, I saw two middle-aged aristocrats sitting in the back seats whispering.

Rainer did not startle, but continued to listen to the conversation between the two men with ears upright.

"By the way, since it has been decided to give the title of Duke of Rainer, what kind of reward should be given to other royal lords? At least it can't let them quickly recover their strength, nor can they be able to pick out the fault!"

"Then just give them more titles or honorary titles, or give them some wine and honey. Anyway, the land is impossible to give them, and..."

With that, Rainer heard a treacherous laugh.

"I remember that in that piece of land in the south, many lords died under the persecution of the rebels, and some people fled directly to the imperial capital. If this is the case, let's just take those lands out of the operation..."

"I think it's okay, those places were originally royal territories, haha..." The two looked at each other and said nothing.

Rainer quietly glanced behind him, then patted Count Jolar sitting on his left, looked at the two people behind and asked: "Do you know those two people? Who are they?"

Count Jolar looked at Rainer's eyes, and after a careful identification, he said: "One of them is a courtier on the Queen's side, and the other is a member of the emerging nobles, but what is my name? I don't know!"

After hearing this introduction from Earl Jolar, combined with the words of the two, Rainer's heart suddenly became clear.

It seems that some emerging nobleman wants to find the court officials under the queen to inquire about the news and make certain transactions.

The mind of the emerging aristocracy who wants to overwhelm the royal lord is still immortal.

Not only did he want to hack off the benefits that the royal lord deserved, but he also planned to annex that part of the southern territory that originally belonged to the royal lord.

In this way, the strength of the new nobles will sooner or later reach the point of fighting against the royal lords, or even overwhelming.

Moreover, he had heard the discussion about himself just now, and his unhappiness was even stronger.

"Does the title of a duke want to send me?" Rainer began to think of ways to fight back in his heart, to see how he could get more of what he deserved.

But soon, he realized that he didn't need to do this.

I kind of forgot what my real goal was.

Although I still plan to keep the royal family, the tree that shelters myself from wind and rain, in the final analysis my ultimate goal is to build my own empire.

And if the current royal family is not destroyed, how could one's own empire be established?

The new aristocracy has more power to overwhelm the Moland family, which may make the empire more vibrant.

At that time, the royal family will inevitably be oppressed, and the fact that the little emperor is not the parent and child of the old emperor is still in his own hands.

Once this matter is brought out, it will be logical for you and the royal family to raise the banner to overthrow the little emperor.

If the new aristocracy does not have the power to oppress the royal family, then there will probably not be too many people willing to unite with them. What we must do now is to let both parties accumulate hatred first.

After understanding this, Rainer felt that he didn't need to interfere in this matter anymore.

Although he did not get enough benefits, in the final analysis, he had the steel that was indispensable to the entire empire and the very valuable sugar.

If you want to make up for your losses, you can directly increase the price of steel and armor. Anyway, you can still get what you deserve.

In the future, Rainer will not only be limited to buying steel with gold coins. He will also exchange population for steel. If you don't benefit me, I will get the benefit by myself. This is the head office.

Lena swept across his mouth and turned his gaze to the actors on stage again.

On the other hand, Frank gave Rainer a deep comment.

The expression on his face had fallen into Frant's eyes, he squinted his eyes for a moment and continued to watch the performance on stage without saying a word.

After the drama was over, Rainer took Frant directly back to the room in the Tska Palace, and Count Choral continued to have fun in the Willens Palace.

"It seems that you are not doing well here!"

After returning to the room, Rainer took off the aristocratic robe without shy, put on a comfortable uniform and sat in a chair.

Frank also took off his gorgeous clothes, got into the bed and changed his clothes, then walked to Rainer's side with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Rainer raised his eyebrows and glanced at Frank.

"I have heard those words, and it seems that the internal fight between you is also very serious!" A sneer finally evoked a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Frank's mouth.

Reiner frowned and looked at Frank, but soon relaxed, laughed and said: "So what, you are my wife now, you want to share the joys and sorrows with me, you have discovered the inner relationship between us. What can you do with the fight? If you don't want to face it with me, you will find out sooner or later!"

For this so-called wife who has not corrected her mentality, Rainer's defense is much less than before.

She couldn't do it even if she wanted to betray herself, because the price of betrayal was beyond her reach.

What's more, she has no reason to betray her. Only herself and her children can become the true heirs of the Northern Territory. Apart from her children, no one can inherit the huge land of the Northern Territory.

Moreover, when her child inherits the North, his father's clan will receive longer-term protection, because the lord of Fort Creek will be the child's uncle or cousin.

Hearing Rainer's sarcasm, Frank couldn't help but his expression stiffened, and quickly returned to the bed, opening a book to cover up his embarrassment.

Three days later ~lightnovelpub.net~ another meeting was formally held in the conference hall of the Teska Palace.

Lena wore a luxurious aristocratic robe and sat in a more noble position.

As one of the few earls that the imperial royal family can directly control, his status is extraordinary.

Sitting on the emperor's throne in the deliberative hall, the eight-year-old emperor followed by the queen's side. Although he was still young, he had already toasted the emperor's majesty under strict etiquette transactions.

"The outstanding performance of the royal loyalists in the counter-insurgency war is obvious to all. In order to defend the majesty of the royal family, you have paid a huge price, and the royal family will never disappoint your loyalty!"

After the queen said these high-sounding words, she began to announce the rewards for these counterinsurgency lords.

The rewards for these royal lords do seem to be very generous, but in the end there is no substantial benefit.

As the two said, they were really consumables such as wine and honey, and there were not many real territorial and in-kind rewards.
